GCVEENCE EAEVEy DARNELL OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS T V HE present building and equipment A of the University of Arkansas is of very inferior quality — one of the poor¬ est of any state university in the country. Contrariwise, the faculty stands preeminent in the nation — it has no superior in quality. The faculty is not equalled in standard by any other Southern state university, but practically all of them outrank it as to physical conditions. True, we are progressing, slowly and tortuously, as is evinced by the new Engineering and Agricultural buildings, which are in¬ ferior to none in the country, but there are multitudinous other features of the University that need building up badly. To accomplish this the expenditure of considerable money will be neces¬ sary. So far the state legislatu re has not been over-benevolent in its appro¬ priation of funds for the University. It is hoped that the next session will provide the requisite finances to enable the University to progress as it should. The main hope of the University lies in Governor Harvey Parnell, who is one of its strongest advocates. He has lived up to his promises and worked for a greater University of Arkansas in particular, and for the whole field of education in general. In the person of Governor Harvey Parnell, the University has not only a friend but an ardent sup¬ porter, and one that will mean much to the building up of the University of Arkansas educationally. The present building program entails the con¬ struction of a new library building, a building to house the law students, a new building for chemistry and physics, a student union building, a new dormi¬ tory, a new commerce building, a new gymnasium, and eventually a building to replace University Hall. When completed, this will give the University of Arkansas one of the most complete plants of any universitv in the South. Governor Harvey Parnell Page 26
